Time to Finish Things off. Toronto, ON

Thank you and good luck with yours. I also have the hockey stick incision just have not shown it as well as a little bit of the incision going to the back. As for tips I wish I had have had a raised toilet seat it would have been a lot easier going to the bathroom. I also have a pick up stick it's a long stick with punchers on the bottom and a trigger on the top that closes the punchers that was a life saver you don't realize how many things you drop until you can't bend down to pick them up as well I used it to pull my pants up with after going to the bathroom I had one in living room and one in the bathroom it really came in handy. Make sure you get lots of protein your body needs it to heal I was doing 20/25 grams of protein every3- 4 hours mostly in protein shakes and Greek yogurt get a good protein powder it's easy to make and easy on your stomach especially for the first week after surgery when your not upto doing or preparing. Eat healthy to that is key your body needs good food with lots of nutrience to heal. As well I toke arnica stated 3 days prior to help with bruising and swelling I hardly swelled at all and bruising was very minimal take lots of vit c as well as b vit that helps metabolize and absorb your protein better. I believe all of these things helped with a easy recovery and of course rest don't push yourself and be patient. I hope that was helpful if you have any other question just message again good luck I look forward to reading how your recovery is going.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about your hard recovery but there is always light at the end of the tunnel and in the end it will all be worth it. The Lipo is difficult I had a lot done on my back and that was the hardest on me too but mine subsided after a week and was and still is tender. I took arnica for 3 days prior and 2 weeks after surgury and I believe that helped with swelling and bruising by one week bruises were almost gone and just yellow. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Thanks and continued good luck with your recovery. Each day it does seem to improve a little, however, I have an opening the size of a quarter that is taking it's old sweet time to heal. The stabbing pains are more intermittent now and looking forward to that "end of the tunnel"!!! Thanks!
